Before I saw Coco, I wasn’t too proud of being Mexican-American. I didn’t really like how my native country is in a poor land or that our hair and eye color is mostly the same. Sometimes I told my mom or brother that I wish I was of French or European decent since they have a more interesting history. Now after watching it, I’m a lot more appreciative of my culture. Besides “Remember Me”, my favorite songs from the movie are “Un Poco Loco” or “La Llorona”. They really got me hooked!

I’m sorry but I’m a little offended by what you said, I’m Mexican, and honestly kind of sad that a MOVIE made you stop hating a whole country, instead of you know, real people with awesome lifes and histories to tell, you know Miguel is not a real person, but Frida Khalo is, Benito Juárez is, Lázaro Cárdenas is, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, Cuauhtémoc is, so how about instead of saying that Europe is better than Mexico, you do a little research, we have a SUPER interesting and rich story, have you read about prehispanic cultures? They are awesome, we are a great country, so stop saying things like that, I know that’s not the point of your confession, I’m glad that now you are more proud of your heritage but there are better things to make you realize that that a movie. Así que deja de hablar basura de México porque somos un país rico y lleno de historias interesantes, por cierto noo todos tenemos el mismo color de ojos y pelo, mis ojos son verdes y mi pelo café claro, no todos somos iguales, has tu investigación.
